Creativity brings people together. Whether through music, art, or in this case design, I create to solve problems and to fulfill the artist inside me. From the start I’ve been a maker. Childhood experiments with sewing and painting to my current dreams of designing and writing music, creating is my way of contributing to the world.

My creative philosophy is rooted in awe, the kind that I grew up witnessing through my mom, a photographer and potter. She taught me that creation is not only fulfilling to myself, but a way of noticing and sharing beauty with others. I want to be apart of the Outdoor Product Design program because for me design and exploring outdoors are my biggest sources of excitement and awe.
